Solution to "Groove Billygoat" by Efrain Finnell

This is the "quick and dirty" walkthrough that skips a lot of detail.
There is some randomness you may need to account for.
It is suggested you use the in-game hints (type HINT) before resorting
to the walkthrough.

First:
GO IN
GO OUT
WAIT (for about 15 turns or fiddle with your inventory)

The Orphans will escape and Betsy will start singing you a song. Wait
till she's done or drop her to end it early.

Soon after that, the Thin Man will appear in the Bad Part of Town. Wait
for him to go in to the Badder Part of Town and follow him (GO IN).

The StepEasy will now be apparent. Say the password SHAMONE and you'll
get inside.

(This is determined by asking one of the orphans about JAMON which is
what you thought the Thin Man said.)

TAKE OFF COAT
GIVE COAT TO GIRL (You'll get a coatcheck marker.)
NORTHWEST
WEST
MOONWALK NORTH
PUT MARKER IN BEAM
TAKE DIFFERENT MARKER
NORTH
EAST
SOUTHEAST
GIVE MARKER TO GIRL (You'll get the Thin Man's left glove.)

To get to the northeast quadrant where the stairs up are, you must
dance. You need to start in the southwest corner of the warehouse by the
jukebox. You have to start at the beginning of the song. You can either
wait for the Thin Man to throw a coin in the jukebox, put the coin you
found in the trash can in the jukebox if you didn't give it to the bum,
or HIT JUKEBOX Fonzie-style to start the music. Each move must be typed
in order before it happens in the description Don't type in moves the
text says you do automatically as it speeds up toward the end.

Thugs will kidnap the orphans and attack the apartment.
You must defeat them randomly by using the Thin Man's dragon shouts.
WEAR GLOVE then

AAOW - will knock the thugs back and has a chance of disarming them, but
will not stop bullets or ninja stars.
HOO - will stop bullets, thrown ninja stars, and lunging thugs who
attack you physically when out of weapons.
EEHEE - will get rid of whatever is hanging in the air. 

Once you stop all four thugs:
